Medieval lintel grave.


The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1867 shows the location of a chapel and burial ground at this location on Gretchvooar farm, together with the annotation, 'St Mary's Chapel & Burial Ground (Keeill Moirrey) (Site of)'. The enclosure is defined as an earthwork feature.


The Manx Archaeological Survey (1915) records the site as lying at the side of the road, and that its dedication is still remembered. Traces of a roughly circular enclosure were apparent on either side of the road, measuring about 25m in diameter.


A Royal Commission field inspector in 1976 noted that the outline of the enclosure was still visible to the west of the track, and that the enclosure was better defined to the east of the track.


PMC Kermode (director of the Manx Museum 1922-32) recorded the existence of a lintel grave at the site on his annotated OS 1:10560 map series. The annotation is placed immediately to the east of the site but it is not clear if this has any implication for the precise location of the grave.
